Who is Theodora
Theodora Cleave .. was my Nana's maiden name...& it is now my business name.
Hello !
I am Barb Smith the designer of whatever drives my inspirational spirit. I Love what I do... it all interests me... it is my bliss.!!
..I am a bit of a butterfly ..exploring many styles & am influenced by my love of French & Italian, sprinkled with my provincial roots and my city lives and a love of cats, birdies. gardens, & nature's beauty.
I am happiest with a paint brush or needle & thread and a vast array of colours.. to weave the stories from sketches that tell of my heart's passion.
I design buttons & decorations & at times wearables that I paint... sometimes I take to fabric painting, stitcheries or quilts as if life takes me in that direction. I adore linen & the washed white look that exudes peace, but I also love the strong colours of red in a santa's coat or a rooftop...
I have integrity in originality & hope it is always respected for that by everyone
I have published 4 stitchery books in the past under my old trading name of Woodcutter's Daughter...
